The future of business is defined by those who are prepared for what’s next. Moving beyond means implementing an IT environment that can handle the unexpected, and having answers while rendering excuses obsolete. It means building a competitive edge into your IT environment and transforming the way in which you deliver services to the business. Moving beyond means shifting to a new operating model for enterprise IT: IT as a Service.

IT as a Service lets IT organizations operate in a more business-like way. It’s a model that moves beyond siloed IT infrastructure to an efficient pool of elastic, self-managed virtual infrastructure, consumed as a service, at the lowest possible cost. Best of all, IT as a Service delivers what the business needs— flexibility and agility—without compromising control. And only one company gives you the power to transform your entire IT infrastructure and enable IT as a Service: VMware.

VMware is the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, delivering customer-proven solutions to more than 190,000 customers, including more than 97% of Fortune 1000 and 94% of Global 500 companies. We’re transforming the way IT serves the business and providing an evolutionary and pragmatic path to cloud computing. With VMware, your organization can reduce the complexity of its IT environment, significantly lower costs and enable a more flexible, agile service delivery and deployment model—one that better responds to your business needs.

When you move beyond, you redefine what’s possible. It’s time to make your move.

In addition, the proliferation of hetero geneous application plat-forms, operating systems and user devices is putting further strain on IT. Developers demand the freedom to choose the application platform right for their needs. End users expect access to their applications and data, regardless of the device. With these growing demands, IT organizations struggle to be an innovative business partner without compromising control.

In today’s world, virtually every strategic business decision has an IT implication. Market forces continue to accelerate in every region of the world, and across every industry, putting increasing pressure on IT departments to be more responsive and help organizations stay competi-tive and pursue new opportunities. With these pressures, it is no wonder that cloud computing, and its promise of delivering IT services on demand, is attractive to IT departments and businesses alike. The challenge is to

realize the efficiencies and agility of a cloud computing approach while maintaining the security, com-pliance and control that enterprises must uphold to comply with both internal processes and regulatory requirements.

Virtualization and cloud computing will make it happen.

Businesses don’t have the luxury of throwing away working infrastructure to pursue new initiatives. On the contrary, they must harness the value and expertise in existing systems and human resources as they adopt new technologies. Only VMware offers an approach that lets you encapsulate legacy applications and move them to a modern environment with higher levels of manageability and reliability. As the industry’s leading virtualization technology provider, VMware offers the best and most trusted solutions for transforming your current IT infrastructure into a secure cloud architecture that delivers the agility and flexibility you need to stay com-petitive and efficient.

Why now?

For many IT organizations, business-as-usual is no

longer an option. Today, the relentlessly growing costs

of supporting complex and brittle legacy technology,

coupled with increasing regulatory and compliance

burdens, means that IT organizations spend 70% or

more of their resources just on maintenance, leaving

little time for innovation or strategic projects.

Siemens

“When we started, we thought the greatest benefit of virtualization would be the hardware cost savings. We have definitely saved there. But we’ve also seen tremendous opera-tional savings in the form of increased efficiency and agility. In fact, we expect to save hundreds of thousands of dollars. With VMware virtualization and cloud infrastructure in place, we can now more easily transi-tion to a cloud computing approach, which will enable us to optimize IT service delivery even further.”

These first steps allow organizations to deliver immediate, significant cost savings that increase confidence in virtualization.

With the newly virtualized infra-structure, IT organizations are able to deliver a higher quality of service because applications in a virtualized infrastructure perform better, and are more reliable and resilient. Improved operational metrics such

as greater uptime, higher perfor-mance and lower maintenance costs give organizations the confidence to move to the next phase of this journey: expanding virtualization to business applications—workloads that are more critical to their organi-zation. Businesses continue to realize the cost savings that automation delivers, as the overall quality of service delivery is improved.

The journey.

How do you get there?

Realizing the full business value of virtualization is an

ongoing journey. Most organizations start with a desire

to increase server efficiency and reduce capital expenses.

IT departments typically begin by virtualizing low-risk

workloads that they control directly, such as

develop-ment, test or file and print servers.

Hay Group

“Cloud computing is some-thing that everybody is talking about, but we’re doing more than talking. We are taking steps to achieve a self-provisioning datacenter where users can get access to the infrastructure and provi-sion servers as needed, and then extend our cloud by leveraging VMware vCloud providers, tapping into additional computing resources when we need them.”

Tuan Ngo, Director, Worldwide Network Operations Group, Hay Group

As more of the datacenter becomes virtualized, organizations naturally implement management and policy-driven automation to reduce operational expenses. Automation brings with it greater responsive- ness to the needs of internal customers, as provisioning and maintaining computing resources becomes more efficient. Over time the resulting agility and quality-of-service improvements allow organizations to shift to the final phase of their journey: an IT as a Service model, providing computing to the business in an on-demand, automated manner.

Along the way, VMware lets you extend this approach through our partnerships with leading cloud service providers. By ensuring interoperability across private and public clouds, we give customers the flexibility to run workloads in the best environment for their business needs without sacrificing security, reliability or governance.

Solutions that

move beyond.

Amway

“Anybody, everybody should be looking to use virtualiza-tion. Companies can make of it what they need. If it’s just cost-reduction through server consolidation, that’s great. With virtualization, you don’t have to jump in neck-deep to see advan-tages. But we’ve taken it to the next level—and so can anyone else—by leveraging VMware disaster-recovery solutions like SRM and desktop technology like VMware View™ and cloud frameworks like vSphere. My advice is to start where you need to, get familiar with VMware technology and then grow your virtual-ized infrastructure to suit your business.”

End-user Computing Solutions Modern end-user computing requires organizations not only to integrate a broader range of user devices, but also deploy applications that can be run, managed and accessed seamlessly across these devices. The challenge of securing and managing end-user computing has forced IT to move beyond simply maintaining physical devices to managing users and applications, whether legacy productivity tools or cloud-based solutions. VMware end-user computing solutions leverage virtualization to modernize the desktop by decou-pling the OS, applications and user persona (data and profile) and managing these independently in the cloud. They enable users to get secure access to their applications, data and services, from any comput-ing device, from PCs and Macs to thin and mobile clients. They deliver the flexibility, cost efficiency and control required to adopt cloud-ready applications, while streamlining the management of legacy applications.

VMware also delivers virtualized application suites that offer a modular architec ture and APIs that enable distributed access to data and storage. These applications allow basic IT services, such as messaging, email, calendaring and collaboration, to be deployed and managed seamlessly across clouds. VMware Services

The goal of every IT purchase is rapid return on investment.
